Election 2012

We take elections seriously around here.  We hold watch parties for the big ones.  This was a big one.  And a sad one.  Sorry.  It's true :P

Hello Kitty Cake

My 4 year old is obsessed with Hello Kitty.  I'm super busy these days, so I was only planning on making these simple "cheater" cupcakes...

But I REALLY wanted to try Hello Kitty.  So this was what I threw together. Not my most symmetric work...but hey.  Gianna loved it :)

4 years old!!!

1st Communion Rice Treats

A "Blue" 1st Birthday for a Girl???

Yes.  That's right.  I threw a blue birthday for my baby girl.  She has the most beautiful blue eyes and she looks so lovely in blue.

Here is the cake:

And the cupcakes:

 And her Mommy:

Chess Birthday

My son is absolutely obsessed with the game of Chess right now. So for his 6th birthday I made him a chess board.

The Birthday Boy:

Oh.  And this is how I roll!

Tennis Ball Cake

For my daughters 8th birthday she requested a tennis ball. It is a gluten free cake mix so it doesn't rise very well...thus why it's not a perfect sphere. But cool no less! The coloring was from some neon food coloring drops. It was great fun to make.

Roller Coaster Cake

Do I love him, or do I love him? JC (my hubby) has teased me for years about making a roller coaster cake. So I surprised him for his 30th Birthday. I think he imagined something MUCH more elaborate though....but this is what he got. I wasn't feeling great and couldn't wait to get it done, so it's not clean but I'm a perfectionist, so nobody else cares I'm sure. Now he can stop teasing me....or come up with another challenge (which is much more likely to happen).
